We made our way back to my house in silence, as I opened the door, I couldn't take it any longer. "Jake, what was that you were saying to Edward?" I asked nervously

"I told him you were my imprint." He said in a mater of fact tone

"Why would you say a thing like that?" I asked

"Because it's true Bella. I love you so very much. You are everything to me; you are all I can think about. You have become my world, my imprint"

"Jake, this is all a bit much to take in. You never mentioned this before."

"Bella honey, I wanted you to be with me by your own choice, not because I told you some mystical wolf thing. You are free to make your own choices. But of course I love you and want to be with you always." He kissed the top of my head as I pulled away.

"I'm blown away. I'm not sure what to think, I need to be alone Jake. I need some time with this." I said

"I understand Bells, but right now it's not a good idea for you to be alone with Victoria out there and all."

"Please just, give me some space." I begged

"Well, I guess I should let the pack know what is going on. But I'll be back later, okay?"

"Sure Jake. Bye." I said as I practically pushed him out the door

Now that I was alone my mind kept racing. I had made love to Jake and now he said he was my soul mate. But I had thought Edward was my soul mate before. Edward had been my reason for existing. His was the love I had to forget. I tried so hard, but I could never banish Edward from my mind completely.

I fell onto my bed crying, unable to understand what I should do.

I woke up to Charlie pounding on my door. "Bella? Jacob is here, he wants to talk to you."

"Tell him to go away!" I shouted as I realized it was morning

"Bella, please just come talk to him. I've gotta go to work."

"Okay dad, I'll be down in a minute."

I went to the bathroom and washed my face. I had cried and my eyes were still puffy and red, I ran a comb thru my hair and brushed my teeth. I headed downstairs to face Jake.

"Bella? How are you feeling today? Your eyes loo-"

"I know they're red and puffy. I've been crying Jake. No big deal!"

"What's wrong Bells? Is it something I've done or about what I said?"

"I was just a bit overwhelmed with the whole soul mate thing Jake. But I'll be fine. I love you!" and I moved in to kiss him as he pulled me tight to him

"God Bells, you feel great in my arms."

"It's a great place to be! So, did you talk to Sam?"

"Yes I did. We are meeting with the Cullen's tomorrow night. Alice is coming over to hang out with you."

"You mean she's going to baby sit me. Jake, I'm fine. I don't need her."

"Please Bella. I'll feel better knowing you've got someone watching over you, even if it is a Bloodsucker."

"Jake, please don't call Alice that."

"I'm sorry, you know what I mean."

"What do you want to do now?"

"We could…um…" as he reached to stroke my cheek and moved his hand to my neck

'Why don't we watch a movie?"

"A movie sounds good." He said a bit disappointed but we sat down and I soon found myself asleep in his arms.

The next day when Alice came to sit with me during the meeting, she looked at me curiously "Bella, why are you doing this to your self?"

"Alice, I don't know what you are talking about."

"Why are you refusing to acknowledge the feelings you have for my brother?"

"Alice, You need to understand. I have moved on, I'm in love with Jake we are together now."

"But you still love Edward."

"Alice, please don't make me say it." I began to cry "I will love Edward till the day I die. With my last breath, with my last thought, my love belongs to him."

"Then why are you fighting him."?

"Alice, my life has moved on. Edward chose to not be a part of that. It saddens me, but I have accepted my new life. Now please just leave me. I'm going to my room. Make yourself comfortable."

I went up to my room and picked up a book, I didn't care what I was reading. I just needed to be away from her. Why when I was around her did I feel like everything was so simple? Like I could just go back to Edward no questions asked. But I couldn't do that to Jake. I really did love him and I was going to do my best to make him happy.

Over the next few weeks, I was watched constantly between the pack and the Cullen's. I was going crazy. I couldn't go anywhere with out being followed. I almost wanted Victoria to attack and get it over with.

I continued to skate at the rink at least once or twice a week. That was the only time I felt free. Usually Jake was with me, but after 6 weeks of no Victoria, he was willing to relax a bit. I had been sleeping in a lot the past few weeks, maybe it was the impending doom of death that made me not want to leave the security of my bed. But I got up and dressed to go skate. To my surprise I found Edward out by my truck, I guess it was his turn to watch me.

"Bella? Are you okay? You look like hell."

"Thanks Edward. Good morning to you too!"

"Sorry. You just seem, I don't know…out of it this morning."

"I'm fine. I just need to get out of here." I grumbled

We got to the rink, and I did several passes as Edward watched me. I started into a jump when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I fell to my knees, but got up again.

"Bella?" I looked over to see a nervous Edward pacing on the edge of the ice. I held up a hand to show I was fine.

I continued around the rink, I probably just pulled a muscle I thought. I picked up speed and suddenly I doubled over in pain. I fell cracking my head on the ice, as I slid to a stop into blackness.

I woke up in the hospital, I heard Jake's voice in the background "She'll be okay at least, wont she?"

"Jacob" I managed to whisper

"Oh god Bella! I'm so sorry!" he cried into my shoulder

"Jake, please don't cry. What's wrong?"

"Bella, you fainted."

"So, Jake, that's nothing to be sorry about. It's not like it's your fault."

"Oh Bella, but it is. It's all my fault."

"What are you talking about Jake? You're scaring me." I was now getting anxious.

"Bells, there is nothing to be scared about. Please calm down Love. You'll hurt the baby."

"What baby?" I said now totally confused

"Our baby Bella. Your pregnant." A small smile on his face

"I'm what! How did that happen? Well I know how it happened, but why didn't I know? I haven't felt…shouldn't I have known…?"

Right then, Dr Cullen came in to check on me.

"Oh, good Bella your awake. You gave us quite a scare." He looked at Jake and me "I'm sure Jacob has told you the good news."

"Yes, I guess he has."

"Well, I've given you some IV fluids, to hydrate you. Once those are done, you'll be free to go. I've written you a prescription for some prenatal vitamins, and I gave Jacob a list of Dr's you can call to see you thru the pregnancy. Please call me if you have any questions. Congratulations Bella." He said as he held my hand and gave me a hug.

"Thank you Carlisle." I said in a dazed voice as I saw Jake shake his hand

Jake scooped me up and held me in his arms as he sat on the bed.

"Bella? Are you going to be okay with this? I didn't ask if you wanted to have the baby."

"Oh god Jake, of course I want our baby! We made her in love Jake. This is the greatest gift I've ever been given. A baby Jake!" I started to cry

"Bella, I know this sounds bad, but when you told me that the condom broke I was secretly hoping that you might get pregnant. And after, when we did it without protection I realized that we were increasing the possibility of you getting pregnant."

"Oh god! What are we going to tell Billy and Charlie?" I gasped

"Tell me what?" I looked up to see Charlie looking from me to Jake with curiosity
